Resource partitioning
Resource partitioning refers to differences in resource use
between species regardless of the origin of the differences. Similar species
can coexist in the same ecological community without one pushing the others to
extinction through competition. Species compete for the same resources which
include nutrients and habitats which are the raw materials needed by organisms
to grow, live, and reproduce. For the question given above, the divergence in
lizards is an example of resource partitioning.
25% is the approximate production efficiency of this animal
Explanation:
Given ,
A ladybug eats 200 J of plant material
100 J is eliminated as feces
75 J are used in cellular respiration,
Now,
The approximate production efficiency of this animal :
200 - (100 +75) = 25 %
Answer:
C. At least five mass-extinction events have occurred during the last 500 million years.
Explanation:
- The history of mass extinct is related to the five mass extinctions that are caused over by the 350 million years n which many species have disappeared in there short geologic time.
- A massive extinction is caused in the Permian Triassic extinction event i.e about 250 mn years ago which on an estimate has killed 90% of the species.
- The Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event that occurred over 66 million years ago is known to have wiped out the dinosaurs and many other species.
Answer:
